Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast

7-day Italy rail trip: Rome, Florence, Sorrento and Amalfi Coast

Illustration of Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night rail vacation through Italy, starting in Rome and ending in Sorrento. The first two nights are in Rome, with an evening at the Trevi Fountain and a guided Imperial Rome tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. A direct train carries travelers to Florence for two nights, where a city tour visits the Accademia Gallery and free time allows a walk across the Ponte Vecchio and a stop at Piazzale Michelangelo. On day 5, the train continues through the Tuscan countryside to Naples, followed by a private transfer along the coast to Sorrento for the final two nights. Day 6 is a full guided tour of the Amalfi Coast, taking in Positano, Amalfi and Ravello with time built in to explore at your own pace. This suits travelers who want a mix of guided sightseeing and coastal scenery, with history in Rome and Florence balanced against a slower final stretch on the coast.

What to know before you look closer

  • The evidence pack lists no specific departure dates for this trip; confirm availability with Railbookers.
  • The day 5 transfer from Naples train station to the Sorrento hotel, and the day 7 transfer to Naples Airport, are both done by private road transfer rather than train, since Sorrento itself is not on the main rail line.
